Matrix Innovation, a tactile-sensor manufacturer based in Dongguan, has successfully raised tens of millions of RMB from various investors, including X Square Robot and XBOT PARK Fund, as reported on October 10. The funding will be utilized to enhance the development of a new generation of data-collection gloves, improve supply-chain processes, and expand manufacturing capabilities.
This investment is significant as it supports Matrix Innovation's mission to innovate in the field of tactile sensing technology. Founded in 2021 by former DJI sensor engineer Kuang Zheng, the company specializes in flexible pressure sensors and gloves that gather touch and hand-position data, crucial for training robots. With six data-glove products already launched, including models with over 360 and 800 sensing points, the company is poised for growth.
Looking ahead, Matrix Innovation shipped 350,000 sensor sets in 2025 and anticipates data-glove shipments to reach several thousand units in 2026. This trajectory indicates a growing demand for tactile sensors in robotics and data collection, making it a key player to watch in the industry.
